How this area has changed
Typical prices for detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to September 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tipcat Close | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
| Postcode sector MK42 9 | – | £400,000 | £373,000 | £250,000 | £249,995 |
| North Bedfordshire | – | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales | Not enough sales |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
How homes change hands in MK42 9, over the last five years (729 sales):
- What sells: 37% terraced, 26% flats, 24% semi-detached, 9% detached, 5% other.
